Postosuchus is an extinct genus of rauisuchid archosaur that lived in southwestern United States during the Triassic Period. It gets its name from Post Quarry, a place in Texas where Postosuchus was first discovered.

Postosuchus was speculated by paleontologists and dinosaur experts on what stance was it at, the research likely suggests it was more of a biped, another research had new evidence suggesting it was more of a obligate biped, meaning it can alter between bipedally and quadrupedally.

Postosuchus is a super rare amphibian that can be created in Jurassic World: The Game, even though in real life it was a terristrial reptile. It was added as part of the March 16th, 2016 update and can be acquired in a Super Rare pack, or by completing Battle Stage 70. When Postosuchus is in its pen, its tail rests on the ground. While other crocodiles did this, it is unlikely Postosuchus did this. With the legs under its hips like a dinosaur and unlike a semi aquatic crocodile, Postosuchus tail had to be above the ground for balance. Also, Postosuchus is shown to walk on four legs, whereas recent research suggests it likely walked on two.
